“בִּימוֹת הַחַמָּה, הָא נָתְרִי פֵּירֵי! בִּדְלִיכָּא פֵּירֵי. וְהָא קָא נָתְרִי קִינְסֵי! בְּגִדּוּדָא.”

In the summer, the fruit of the previous year left on the dry tree will fall off when he climbs it, and climbing the tree should therefore be prohibited lest he come to pick the fruit. The Gemara answers: We are dealing here with a case where there is no fruit on the tree. The Gemara asks: But small branches will fall off when he climbs the tree, and once again this should be prohibited in case he comes to break them off. The Gemara answers: We are dealing here with a tree that has already been stripped of all its small branches.

“ישב לגלח ואמרו לו מת אביו הרי זה משלי׳ ראשו אחד המגלח ואחד המתגלח ומה שהספר גומר היינו בדליכא ספר אחר במתא:”

[If a man] sat down to have his hair cut, and he was told that his father died, he may complete [cutting the hair of] his head, both if the hair-cutter as well as the one who was having his hair cut [suffered the bereavement]; and the fact that the hair-cutter may complete [the hair-cut, even after he was informed that he suffered a bereavement] applies [only in the case] where no other hair-cutter is available in the town.
